They called it the land of the goddamn free
But now they're coming for folks like me.
Papers signed blood spilled for years
Now they're pissing on dreams and stoking fears.
Stripped and sold dragged back in chains
They don't give a f*ck 'bout lives or names.
Deals made in smoke-filled rooms
While they crush our hopes like broken tombs.
"Welcome home" they said with pride
Now they spit "Get out you're not one of our kind."
Promises turned to bullshit lies
But hell no I won't lay down and die.
Stripped and sold dragged back in chains
F*ck their power and their twisted games.
They play God with ink and pen
Messing with lives like it's all pretend.
Freedom's just a trick they sell
Packaged up and fake as hell.
They'll rip it away in the dead of night
Leave you stranded without a fight.
Give 'em a throne they'll build a wall
Give 'em power and they'll take it all.
They sell the "American Dream" as holy bliss
But the truth is they don't give a shit.
Stripped and sold kicked to the curb
They'll bury you deep without a word.
Ain't no justice just smoke and lies
They'll turn their backs while your future dies.
They'll take your name spit on your pride
Act like it's their damn right to decide.
But this land's mine earned fair and square
Come take it back if you f*ckin' dare.
Stripped and sold ripped up in chains
While they grin and write up the pain.
But I'm not some pawn in their twisted game
I'll fight 'em hard put 'em to shame.
They lie cheat claw for power and cash
Tear up lives and call it "brash."
They think they're gods untouchable kings
But they don't know the fire we bring.
You want to wipe me out erase my story?
F*ck your laws I'll write my own glory.
I built this life brick by brick
Try and take it you power-hungry pricks.
Stripped and sold but I'm still here
Holding strong no room for fear.
They'll try to beat us drag us low
But this fight's just starting let's f*ckin' go.
So here I stand fists tight as hell
In this goddamn place where I will dwell.
They might try to shove us off the map
But we're not backing down from their crap.
